Asynchronous JavaScript

Understand callbacks, promises, and async/await

Overview

Asynchronous programming allows operations to happen without blocking execution.

Callbacks: Functions passed as arguments that execute after an operation. Promises: Objects representing the eventual completion of an async operation. async/await: Modern syntax that makes async code look synchronous.

Understanding asynchronous patterns is essential for modern JavaScript development, especially when working with APIs, databases, and file operations.
